• Thursday, September 14: Chemradery (Pop-Rock/Soul) 
Chemradery. It’s not a word in the English dictionary, but it might very well make it there if this band has anything to say about it. Led by vocalist Gregory Scot Dyer and guitarist Ivan Alexander, Chemradery came about when two innovative minds merged their passion for music together to create a sound that would not only inspire, but leave a lasting impression—on themselves and the listener. Melodic verses and choruses, simplistic yet memorable lyrics about the positives and negatives of everyday life, and tasteful instrumentation that tie it all together. The fellowship, interaction, and common bond of everyday people, whose sole purpose is to tell a story through their music; a story that you can’t stop reading. That is Chemradery.

• Thursday, September 21: Slip and The Spinouts (Swing/Rockabilly/Roots)
Slip and the Spinouts are an established Vintage American music band on the South Florida circuit. They are South Florida’s only Rockabilly/Roots band playing the entire state, East Coast and Las Vegas. Their blend of Rockabilly, Rock n Roll, Western Swing, Surf, old country, Swinging Blues, and Roots music appeals to people of all ages and lifestyles.
